So where do you get your bearings from? I noticed your from the bay. I'm in the East Bay. (Sunol)

Cheers

Anywhere one desires?

More than one place to order a standard item from.

What Wanganstyle was saying was that a given MFG's bearings will be the same from any distributor...

SKF is probably the top Euro manufacturer; Timken the top US; drawing a blank on the top Japanese name...

[Wanganstyle]

Skf bearings are sometimes germany sometimes japan sometimes brazil in origin.

F.a.g. is usually germany

Timken is usa.

BMW OEM use is SKF or FAG.

Bmw Never uses Timken OEM; I'm not 100% why the multi sourcing.

NSK

Bearings are standardized in size according to ANSI, DIN or JIC standards, so different MFG's bearings should be dimensionally interchangeable.

So…. here I go again. This time it's a full rebuild. New bearings, races, and seals. God help.

So, what is this differential you speak of? I thought that was just for race cars ;-)

The bearings look a little worn ;p


Anyone know what the numbers mean?
